Pass the buck.....(This whole rant was the spawn of a facebook post.)

I'm kinda curious why anytime something that goes around f.b that has to do with children, all of a sudden it was born from the mind of a pediphile, but yet when the whole bra color/purse thing was going around, no one was screaming rapist or pervert.

Believe me, when it comes to hating pediphiles i'm probably near the top of the list. However, it really burns me up when people want to pass the blame onto them. It really does seem like, atleast in facebook land, that anything, and i mean ANYTHING that has to do with children - whether it's using a cartoon as your profile pic. to spread awareness about child abuse, or a group about "having a son/daughter was the best choice i ever made" - is claimed to have been started by a pediphile. Anything else can go on, such as the examples i posted above, and people participate or join in with out a second thought. And nothing is ever said. Well, i'm sorry, actually NO i'm NOT, if you're that damn worried about pediphiles getting your child on facebook, they're too damn young to be on it! Not to mention, it is YOUR job as a PARENT to police what your child/children are doing and who they are or are not friends with. If you cannot do that, then your child sould not be on the internet.People are also more than willing to put up gobs of pictures of their children. Don't ya think a pediphile can gain access to those?!

So many of us wonder what is wrong with people today, myself included because we are all guilty. Guilty of passing what, by all rights is our responsability, onto someone else. We don't want to be forced to admit that WE may have been at fault. When the reality is, dispite what some may think, we are in charge. In charge of ourselves, our children and what they can and cannot do, our homes, dare i say it - our lives. Sure, if you're sitting at home watching t.v and your child begins to play with a lighter and burns themself, it easier to blame it on the manufacturer of the lighter. Maybe, it was lacking proper child safety, maybe it was faulty. When the reality is, it was YOUR fault. It's always easier to say it was someone else. No one wants to admit they did something stupid.
